The water got about 2 to 3 inches below the top of my seawall. In the neighborhood next to me, it got about 1 to 2 inches above. At first I didn't think it really flooded the front entrance to my neighborhood, but I guess last night it did some apparently. I think maybe a little bit of additional rain combined with the tide rising maybe 4 to 5 more inches after I was out there, and one side flooded a bit. I'll post some video later tonight of wind earlier in the day Monday.
I spent some of today helping a neighbor. In the interior of my neighborhood it can flood backyards some. Due to a lot of factors, a new neighbor across the street had one room of his house flooded by an inch of water. It does flood like that sometimes, but I thought it had maybe been corrected. It was definitely not. After the two inches we got yesterday that I posted about, we got around four more inches. This morning at 5am I guess it was still okay. At 6am, it started flooding. Around 8 or 9am my dad and I started helping him. I was walking out to the front entrance since the tide was high, but then we saw what was going on.
Some people in Pinellas County got a lot of flooding due to rain.
